Team,"

turn in the strong performances his talent suggests he can deliver."

from a question mark over BJ, we have a fully fit squad who have all shown they
have what it takes to perform at Test level. We want to hit the ground running
for that first match at the Basin Reserve. It’s a special place to play cricket
and we’re determined to start the summer on a positive note.”
